Wen Wen hadn't used his full strength yet, which made Xiong Ying instantly tense up. His muscles tightened, and he vigilantly awaited Wen Wen's next attack.
He knew his own situation well. Even facing the current Wen Wen, he was already struggling to keep up. If Wen Wen could be even stronger, he truly had no confidence in being able to block him.
Wen Wen put away his long sword and staff, facing the small fire dragon that was Xiong Ying with bare hands, without using any weapons. Yet, Xiong Ying felt a pressure that was incomparable to before.
"Be careful... I'm starting!"
As soon as the words fell, Wen Wen appeared before Xiong Ying. His fingers formed into claws, and he lunged towards Xiong Ying.
Wen Wen's speed this time was much faster than before. Xiong Ying activated his desperate burst ability and barely managed to evade that claw. Su Dan Novel Network.
Wen Wen's hand landed on the ground, creating five ravines, each over ten meters long and nearly a meter deep. An indescribable aura emanated from these ravines, filling Xiong Ying with an unspeakable fear.
Driven by fear, Xiong Ying, disregarding everything, spewed a mouthful of flames at Wen Wen. But Wen Wen didn't even dodge. The Disaster Containment Facility glove appeared, and he extended his right hand towards the flames.
All the flames seemed to encounter a black hole, being swallowed into Wen Wen's hand. This was the ability that resided in Wen Wen's right hand, the ability to devour superpowers!
After the flames dissipated, Xiong Ying stared nervously at Wen Wen, wanting to preempt Wen Wen's next attack.
But at this moment, a shield made of white light suddenly appeared on Wen Wen's body, emitting a brilliant radiance. Xiong Ying, who was staring intently at Wen Wen, was blinded by the light.
In his panic, he could only spew flames everywhere, preventing Wen Wen from approaching.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wen Wen's body suddenly blurred. He charged through the flames and reached Xiong Ying, green data streams converging on his left arm. He pushed his palm into Xiong Ying's abdomen.
Then, scarlet flames erupted!
The flames originating from Xiong Ying dealt little damage to Xiong Ying himself but greatly increased the pushing force of Wen Wen's palm. With one shove, Xiong Ying was sent flying. The immense impact force squeezed him immobile in the air by the intense wind pressure.
Finally, Wen Wen casually threw a purplish-black energy ball in Xiong Ying's direction. It hit him, and the energy exploded, shattering his scales.
This time, his desperate burst ability had no effect whatsoever. He could only let himself be hit by Wen Wen and fall from the sky.
Changsun Jing, who was watching from the side, opened his mouth wide and muttered, "In just a few months, he's grown this much from a regional demon hunter."
Changsun Jing, who had once followed the wandering hunter 'Binghe', naturally knew that the strength Wen Wen displayed had reached the intermediate stage of assimilation!
And Xiong Ying, whom their entire Qingchuan City Hunter Association couldn't handle before, was easily defeated by a serious Wen Wen!
"When I reached the mastery realm, he wasn't even a superpowered individual yet. Even back in Furong River City, our strength wasn't this disparate..."
"I've been too complacent. I need to capture more monsters and strive to enter the assimilation realm as soon as possible, and then I'll participate in the wandering hunter assessment!"
...
Wen Wen paid no mind to Changsun Jing's inner monologue. He took out a bunch of ropes and tied Xiong Ying up securely. Then, he found a large tree nearby and hung him in mid-air.
These ropes were specially equipped for wandering hunters by the Hunter Association. Once bound by these ropes, even disaster-level powerhouses would find it difficult to break free.
Although these ropes were not as good as Wen Wen's black chains, they were still considered good items.
After being captured by Wen Wen, Xiong Ying gradually struggled to maintain his dragon form and reverted to human shape. Although his clothes were burned off by Wen Wen, the ropes Wen Wen used were plentiful, so the scene was not indecent.
Looking at Xiong Ying, who had a tall physique but a young face, Wen Wen exclaimed in amazement, "Tsk, he really is just a kid."
"You told me before that you wouldn't appear again, and I know why. If you can convince me, perhaps I won't have to take you away."
Xiong Ying fell silent for a moment and said, "I can only tell you that I won't appear again. It's no use for you to capture me."
He was a stubborn person and not good at sharing his pain. It was difficult for him to tell a stranger that he was dying.
Wen Wen curled his lips. To Wen Wen now, Xiong Ying was just a sulking child. "I know what you look like now, and I can find your parents anytime. I wonder if they know that this mysterious little dragon hero is you."
Hearing the threat in Wen Wen's words, Xiong Ying became agitated, and the ropes let out creaking sounds.
He struggled and roared, "If you go bother my parents, I won't let you off!"
"Won't let me off... That's the weakest threat I've ever heard."
Wen Wen picked up his staff and lightly tapped Xiong Ying's body. He became weak and limp, unable to resist fiercely.
"Since you don't want me to find your parents, then tell me yourself. I'm a good person, and seeing that you're young and haven't done anything truly bad, there are some methods I don't want to use on you."
Then, his tone became stern: "But if you absolutely refuse to say anything, I have ways to make you say what you need to say. Believe it or not, just a few days ago, an angel underwent my punishment, and now he wouldn't dare to refuse even if I asked him to wash my feet!"
Xiong Ying gritted his teeth and turned his head away, ignoring Wen Wen.
"Do you think I'm trying to scare a child? I can really do it!"
Seeing Xiong Ying's stubbornness, Wen Wen became frustrated. He picked up his wandering hunter terminal and scanned Xiong Ying. After a while, Xiong Ying's information appeared on the terminal.
Wen Wen read out the information from the terminal to Xiong Ying, sentence by sentence.
"Name: Xiong Ying, Gender: Male, Age: 17, Hometown: Qingchuan City, Chongqing Province. Attends No. 19 Middle School in Qingchuan City. Dating experience: None..."
"It's one thing for a male high school student not to have a girlfriend, but not even a boyfriend is too pathetic..."
"Wait, I don't either. Oh well, never mind."
With every sentence Wen Wen spoke, Xiong Ying trembled. The feeling of his hidden things being peeled away by someone else was truly unpleasant.
"Suffering from a terminal illness, estimated time of death... Wait, does that mean you only obtained your ability two months ago?"
Even though Wen Wen was getting closer to the truth, Xiong Ying still refused to say anything to him. Wen Wen didn't know what he was holding onto.
"Mr. Guitan, could I have a word with him?" Changsun Jing walked over and said to Wen Wen.
Wen Wen shrugged and said, "As you wish. He's all yours."
